Because of Albert's connections, Marin decided to let go of the Gust family and return the Gust family's fief to them for management. www.biquge.info However, the supply of fertilizers has not decreased. In this way, the Gust family's income will increase by seven or eight times, and they will become a veritable wealthy aristocracy.

After all, the output of one acre of rye has a net profit of up to 50 pounds per acre, excluding nearly 100 pounds of seed input, serfs' food and drink expenses, and tithes to be paid. However, with the use of new agricultural techniques, the cost per acre is less than 100 pounds of rye. However, yields per acre reached 500 pounds upwards. In this way, the income per mu is almost 400 pounds, which is basically 8 times the original income.

The Gust family originally had 1,000 yugrams, or 12,000 acres. Originally, the net income per year was 600,000 pounds. In fact, because of fallow, it may only be 300,000 pounds.

But since the use of fertilizer, the acres of fields have not been fallow, and the annual income has reached 4.8 million pounds of rye. So much rye, according to the market price, is worth 80,000 gold coins. Even according to the lowest wholesale price, a seven-fold discount of the market price is worth 56,000 gold coins. With so much money, the Gust family was basically dumbfounded. You must know that in the past, their family's annual income was only a few thousand gold coins......

In addition, Baron Gust's youngest son, John, who was Miss Gust's younger brother, was only 14 years old and followed Albert to Amerigo Island as an attendant.

Baron Gust understands that he and his eldest son Alan are incapable goods. Otherwise, the Gust family would not have been marginalized by Marin in the first place. Today, the youngest son, John, is still quite smart. So, Baron Gust simply asked John to be Albert's squire. It would be best if I could learn something from Prince Albert, who was said to be very intelligent. Even if he can't learn anything, as a brother-in-law, Prince Albert will definitely take care of it.

Seeing the Gust family come back to life, many marginalized families are crazy with jealousy. Then it suddenly occurred to them that Prince Simon was still single......

As a result, a bunch of marginalized aristocratic families sent the best girls in the family to live in Aurich, organized some aristocratic balls, and frequently invited Prince Simon to participate, trying to impress Prince Simon, marry him off, and win a chance for his family to come back to life.

However, unbeknownst to these families, old Hoffman was determined to let Simon marry a princess back. Therefore, the seduction of those aristocratic ladies, old Hoffman was very dissatisfied. Then, Simon was grounded and not allowed to attend the balls organized by the noble ladies.

For the princess plot of old Hoffman, Marin is also a little speechless. However, he could not persuade the old Hoffman, so he went with him.

In fact, Simon wants to find a princess and its toughness? He was the third son and had no right of inheritance. In the future, according to the normal script, Marin will probably make him a baron, give him a barony, and let him be at ease.

However, would the princesses of those vassal states be willing to marry a baron? But any princess with outstanding looks must want to marry a prince with the right to inherit. In the future, I might as well be a queen or a duchess or something like that. The Baroness - it seems a bit low-grade......

Only the princesses of the vassal states who are ugly, or whose country is too weak, will marry a prince who has no right to inherit. And the old Hoffman was planning to let Simon find a princess from a weak vassal state as his wife. In this way, the second generation of the Hoffman family can finally produce a princess and daughter-in-law......

……

Just as the effects of the court ball were still fermenting, Kohler suddenly came to report that George, Duke of Saxony, had been defeated in West Friesland......

Marin was taken aback, you know, George this time, in order to destroy the enemy, but he spent a lot of money, gathered another 10,000 troops, and came to West Friesland for reinforcements.

It is said that George personally led an army of 15,000 to West Frisland to find the main force of the "West Frisian Resistance Army" to seek a decisive battle.

It stands to reason that George has so many soldiers and horses, and most of them are elite veterans, even if he can't defeat the Geddes army, he won't be defeated so quickly. You must know that 3,000 of the 13,000 troops of the Gedes army are pure wastewood. Those with strong combat effectiveness are only 10,000. In the face of the 15,000 army led by George, it won't be so strong......

"That's right, young master, it is said that it was Charles II, Duke of Geddes, who hired 4,000 Swiss mercenaries to come and fight to defeat Duke George's army."

"No wonder......" Marlin nodded. If another 4,000 Swiss mercenaries come, it makes sense. After all, the Swiss mercenaries must be stronger in combat than the Saxon army.

"And, the leader of the Swiss mercenaries, you know ......"

"I know? It can't be Ziggy, right? Marin remembered that the Swiss mercenary captain he knew seemed to be the only one in Ziggy. Moreover, if it weren't for Ziggy's mercenary group, his territory at that time, Texel Island, might have been occupied by the then Frisian aristocratic republic......

"It's Captain Zigger, and besides, this time Captain Ziggy and his 4,000 Swiss mercenaries are too cunning. They didn't show up at all at the beginning of the war, but hid to the side......"

"When the main forces of the Saxon army and the army of the Duchy of Gedess had been fighting for a long time, and both sides were exhausted, they suddenly came out from the flank and crushed the left flank of the Saxon army in one fell swoop. Then the Saxon army was defeated and fled......"

"First an ambush, then the enemy got tired and attacked the left flank...... This Qige is not simple, and the art of war has been used......"

"Hehe, young master, I heard that Captain Zige, it seems that after you learned to ambush here, then you suddenly got the hang of it and learned to fight with your brain, not brutely. Now, Captain Ziggy is known as the 'Fox' on the Swiss side. His 'Ziggy Mercenary Group' is also known as the 'Fox Mercenary Group'......"

"Haha, what you learned from me? However, this ziggy has two brushes. After all, when I didn't teach him by hand, it would be a genius to have this understanding. ”

You must know that first let the main force engage the enemy, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then send the elite to suddenly kill from the enemy's flank or back, that is Tang Taizong Li Shimin's trick. Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry was specially designed to take advantage of the enemy's morale to frustrate and surprise the enemy's flank or back. Relying on this trick, Li Shimin helped the Tang Dynasty and laid down thousands of miles.

And Genghis Khan, the hero of later generations, is also very good at using this trick. Specifically, first use the main force of 100,000 cavalry to confront the enemy, or use the "Mangu" tactic to consume the enemy. When the enemy is tired of chasing, morale is low. Suddenly, send elites left and right to outflank the enemy. Relying on this tactic, the Mongol cavalry swept across Eurasia.

Even the little devils of later generations are very good at this trick. This is how Jiang Guangtou's army was defeated again and again by the little devils. It's just that later I met the eight roads who never confronted the devil, and the devil's trick was not good. If people don't face you, they won't be able to consume personnel and morale. If you want to outflank left and right, you can't find where your opponent is......

The consequence of this is that Jiang Guangtou's army fights less and less, and the Eighth Route fights more and more. By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the strength of both sides of the civil war was close to ......

……

Ziggy was indeed gifted in being able to develop such tactics in Europe at the beginning of the 16th century, when tactics were rigid. However, the Swiss do not seem to be on their own. Therefore, Ziggy may meet himself on the battlefield one day. When the time comes, it is necessary to guard against him using this trick.

Of course, if you want to fight the ambush of the East Frisian army, the possibility is not very likely. Because, every time he goes out to fight, Marin's sentinels will scatter far away. Moreover, they all brought binoculars. If you want to fight Marin's ambush, the difficulty is not ordinary......

George's army of 15,000 set out in high spirits. However, it is said that only 3,000 people have now fled back to Groningen. Marin was sure that George would soon be unable to save West Friesland. When the time comes, there will be a good show to watch. After all, George's allies are also quite numerous. When George finds allies, there is still a big drama to be played......
